This long-term partnership will support our continuous endeavor to contribute to achieving the Kingdom’s Vision 2030, and will contribute to the development of the sensor systems industry. and special missions, as well as creating a comprehensive Lifetime Support Service (TLS) structure for our military clients.”

For his part, Christopher Kopasek stressed that this long-term partnership will enhance their presence in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, as this joint venture with SAMI, which includes research and development, manufacturing, training and sustainability activities, is a milestone in the further development and implementation of the company's growth strategy on a global level.

L3 Technologies designs and manufactures electro-optical, infrared (EO/IR) and guided sensor systems, as well as fully customizable mission systems for air, land and ship vehicles.

SAMI and L3 Technologies will jointly design and implement these advanced technologies and solutions for a variety of customer applications through a Center of Excellence to be established in the Kingdom.
